The Role
Own and scale Yaydoo payments operations: monitor transaction health, reconciliation, settlements, reduce exceptions, build reporting and controls, automate workflows, and support LATAM expansion with cross-functional coordination.
Summary Generated by Built In

Paystand is the world's leading blockchain-enabled B2B payments network, transforming commercial finance into a software-driven, zero-fee, and open ecosystem. Recognized as a CNBC/Statista 2026 World's Top Fintech company, Paystand delivers over a decade of on-chain payments experience to middle and large enterprises.

Paystand's network services more than one million payors that have moved $20+ billion in volume. With its acquisitions of Yaydoo, Teampay and Bitwage, Paystand's full-stack platform includes agentic AI, its USDb stablecoin, and AR/AP solutions on one tightly integrated network. Its non-profit arm, Paystand.org, advances the mission to democratize finance through Bitcoin and blockchain technology.

What We Do

We built the financial system we always thought should exist: zero fees, zero friction, just your money, faster. Blockchain automates receivables and payables, cuts time-to-cash, and turns every transaction into revenue instead of cost.

Why We Do It

The current system takes a cut from the people who build, create, and grow — and calls it the cost of doing business. We don't buy that. Every fee we eliminate compounds into growth. We're here to decentralize finance and hand the power back to the businesses driving the real economy — extended further through Paystand.org's work to democratize finance through Bitcoin and blockchain.

How We Do It

We don't wait for permission or for the industry to catch up — we build the future of finance ourselves, on-chain, in the open. Small moves now, monumental results later.

Join Us

We're not looking for people who want a job in fintech. We're looking for people who want to build what comes after it. Paystand is where you help lead a financial revolution instead of just reading about one. We stand on change. Come stand with us.

 

Role At A Glance

Paystand is hiring a Payments Lead to own, harden, and scale the payments operation for Yaydoo, our flagship product in Mexico. This isn't a "maintenance" role—we are looking for an AI-native operator who can transform a launched capability into a repeatable, scalable, and high-growth business engine.

You will act as the operational architect for our payments platform, partnering with Product, Engineering, and Finance to increase organizational leverage. As we grow, this role is expected to expand into broader LATAM payments initiatives and other Paystand business units.

What You’ll Do
  • Own Payments Operations: Monitor transaction health, exceptions, and reconciliation status. Identify friction points in onboarding and activation to drive growth.
  • Scale Through Automation: Build the operating system for scalable payments. Replace manual workarounds with AI-enabled workflows, automated alerts, and robust playbooks.
  • Strengthen Controls & Visibility: Build trusted reporting and dashboards. Establish clear operational cadences for issue triage, release readiness, and expansion planning.
  • Drive Cross-Functional Success: Work hand-in-hand with Product, Engineering, Compliance, and Treasury to ensure payments scale safely and do not become a bottleneck.
  • Support Regional Growth: Help define the future team structure and operating models needed to scale payments across LATAM and multi-BU environments.
What We’re Looking For
  • Experience: 5+ years in fintech, banking, payment operations, or treasury/infrastructure roles.
  • Fluency: Bilingual in English and Spanish (written and verbal).
  • Operational Rigor: Strong understanding of payment flows, reconciliations, and risk controls. You have a track record of scaling operations after product launch.
  • AI-First Mindset: You don't just "monitor" ops—you automate them. You have practical experience using AI, dashboards, or scripting to improve efficiency.
  • High Ownership: Ability to drive execution from diagnosis to results in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
  • Nice to Have: Exposure to LATAM payments, B2B SaaS, blockchain/decentralized payments, or experience building control frameworks and executive-ready reporting.
Why Join Us?

Paystand is redefining B2B payments across North America, and Yaydoo is at the forefront of digital transformation in Mexico. You’ll be joining a team that prioritizes leverage, high-quality execution, and AI-enabled infrastructure. If you are an operator who thrives on building systems that scale and have a passion for fintech, we want to hear from you.
